The corrosion behavior of Mg-9Li-3Al-2.5Sr alloy, solution treated at 400°C for 3h with various aging temperature (Ta; Ta=75,100,125,150,175°C), was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution by immersion test and polarization curve measurement. Experimental results suggest that the alloy aged at150°Cfor 6h exhibits the highest corrosion resistance while the alloy treated at 75°C for 6h presents lowermost corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of the alloy is related to the grain size and the distribution of Al4Sr compound. The segregation of intermetallic compounds can accelerate the corrosion process. It was found that duo to the proper solid-solution and aging treatment, intermetallic compounds were distributed evenly along the grain boundaries, which can reduce the corrosion rate and corrosion current. In addition,with the growth of grain, the decrease of the grain boundary area per unit volume lead to improvement of corrosion resistance of the alloys.

The corrosion characteristics and corrosion mechanism of the extruded ZK80 alloy with different states soaking in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature were analyzed via OM, SEM, EDS, XRD and static weightlessness method and other experimental analysis methods. The results show that when the aging temperature is constant, and the corrosion rate decreases with the lengthen of aging time, while when the corrosion time is constant, the corrosion rate increases with the increase in aging time. Appropriate aging treatment not only refines the grain of the alloy, but also precipitates the Mg–Zn phase which can effectively prevent the corrosion process and improve the anti-corrosion properties of the alloy. The main corrosion characteristics of the alloy are filamentary corrosion and pitting corrosion.

Duplex stainless steels correspond to a class of steel in which the microstructure is composed basically by the phases ferrite and austenite. Given the metastable character of ferrite, associated phase transformations can occur during thermal treatments, which can lead to a reduction in corrosion resistance. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of the solution-treated at 1100°C for 30min and aging at 500 and 600°C for 1, 3 and 12h, on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of DSS UNS S31803. The steels were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, hardness, microhardness and thermal analysis. The steels aged at 500°C for 1h presented the phase alpha line dispersed in the ferrite, and the steels aged at 600°C for 12h presented the phases alpha line, sigma and chi. In the assays of double cycle potentiodynamic reactivation in solution of 0.5M H2SO4 and 0.01M KSNC, it was observed that no sensitization occurred. Furthermore, in the tests of cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, in 3.5% NaCl solution, it was verified that the precipitation of the alpha line phase did not alter corrosion resistance; nevertheless, the sigma phase reduced corrosion resistance.

This work researches the influence of the nickel content on the structural and anticorrosive properties of ZrSiTiN films deposited by means of reactive co-sputtering on alloys of Ti6Al4V. The morphology and structure were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the chemical composition was identified via X-ray scattering spectroscopy (EDS). The corrosion resistance was studied using potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests employing a 3.5% by weight NaCl solution. In the films, an increase of Ni up to 6.97 at% was observed, while in XRD the FCC phase of (Zr, Ti) N was identified, with a mixed orientation in planes (111) and (200), which tended to diminish with the increase of Ni. Finally, with the addition of Ni, the corrosion current densities were reduced from 5.56 𝑥 10−8 to 2.64 𝑥 10−9 𝐴/𝑐m2. The improvement in the corrosion resistance is due to the effect of the Ni on the microstructure of the system (Zr, Ti) N, which can improve the quality of the passive film and prevent crystalline defects and corrosion zones.

The main purpose of this work was to experimentally determine the effect of the cooling rate during the eutectoid transformation on the corrosion resistance of a hypoeutectic Zn-4Al cast alloy in 5% NaCl solution. This was considered in relation to the alloy microstructure. For this purpose, metallographic and electrochemical studies were performed. It was found that the faster cooling promoted the formation of finer (α + η) eutectoid structures, which translated into a higher hardness and lower corrosion current density. In the initial stage of corrosion processes the eutectoid structure in the eutectic areas were attacked. At the further stages of corrosion development, the phase η was dissolved, and the α phase appears to be protected by the formation of corrosion products.

Recently, many types of constructional steels have been often exposed to severely corrosive environments due to acid rain with increasing environmental contamination. To control corrosion problems, a painting protection method has been widely applied to numerous constructional steels on land as well as offshore. Therefore, development of anti-corrosive paint with good quality of corrosion resistance is very important from an economical perspective. In this study, four types of anti-corrosive paint were coated to test specimens, and then, were immersed in various salt solutions (0.1, 3 and 9% NaCl solution) for 11 days. Corrosion resistance of these samples by effect of osmotic pressure with various salt concentration was investigated with electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, impedance and corrosion current density. Corrosion current density of these samples submerged in 0.1% NaCl solution exhibited highest value than those immersed in 3% and 9% NaCl solutions because water, dissolved oxygen and chloride ion etc. is easily to invade towards inner side of coating film due to increasing osmotic pressure compared to 3% and 9% NaCl solutions. However, corrosion current densities of all samples in the case of submerged in 9% NaCl solution exhibited higher values compared to 3% NaCl solution.Thus, a large amount of chloride ion dissolved in 9% NaCl solution plays a more critical role in corrosion behavior of coated steel rather than osmotic pressure. Consequently, the corrosion mechanism between coated steel and bare steel plates is different from each other because of presence of osmotic pressure between salt solution and coating film of coated steel plate. As a result, corrosion resistance of tcoated steel plate may be depend on the osmotic pressure as well as salt concentration

Influence of surfactants on the corrosion properties of chromium-free electroless nickel deposit were investigated on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The corrosion tests were carried out by immersion test (1 M HCl) and electrochemical polarization test (3.5 wt% NaCl ). The surfactants in the electroless nickel bath increases the corrosion resistance properties of the deposit on the magnesium alloy. In addition, smoothness and amorphous plus nano-crystalline phase were increased and accounted for the significant corrosion resistance. As a consequence, the corrosion potential moved towards the positive direction and the corrosion current density decreased. The immersion tests also provided the same trend as that of electrochemical polarization test. On the whole, the study concluded that corrosion resistance was enhanced by including a surfactant in the electroless deposits on magnesium alloy.

The corrosion process of carbon steel and corrosion resistance behavior of volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) under thin electrolyte liquid film containing chloride was investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface characterization. Results indicated that composite VCI was composed of sodium molybdate and sodium benzoate, and exhibited higher corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution compared with absence of VCI. The corrosion current density obviously decreased with presence of VCI, and the synergies between binary components increased the corrosion inhibiting rate on carbon steel to up to 90%. The corrosion current density of carbon steel increased with increased temperature after volatilization of VCI. A closed container was carried out to mimic atmospheric corrosion condition, and its vapor corrosion inhibition property was evaluated in this closed container. Results showed that the VCI acted as an inhibitor by suppressing anodic dissolution and metallic ion transfer through the formation of protective film. It was also observed that the variation of carbon steel surface with volatilization of VCI was assessed by atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The anodic process for carbon steel without VCI affected the corrosion rate due to accumulation of corrosion products, while the morphology of carbon steel was hardly changed with volatilization of VCI. The results showed that the VCI volatilized to the surface and form to protect film. VCI was automatically volatilized into gas, which protected steel from corrosion. This composite VCI can then be applied as a significant corrosion inhibition method.

A new technique has been developed for improving corrosion resistance on magnesium alloys. Specimens of AZ31 magnesium alloy were dipped into molten salt of NaBF4 at 723 K for various times, and then cooled, rinsed with water, and dried in air. Corrosion resistance in the surface treated specimens was evaluated by salt immersion test using 1 % NaCl solution as a time for occurring filiform corrosion. On an un-treated AZ31 alloy, the time for starting the filiform corrosion was about 1.2 ks, while on the surface treated specimen, the time was prolonged into about 1300 ks. Moreover, the surface treated specimen showed corrosion resistance in low pH solutions, such as 1 % HNO3 and HCl solutions.

In order to improve the corrosion resistance of Nd-Fe-B, the new technological process is done which involves electroplating Ni–P alloys with ultrasonic. The influence of ultrasonic on electroplating Ni–P alloy on Nd-Fe-B was studied by using microscope, adhesion test and NaCl solution immersion test. The results showed that the Ni–P alloy deposit on Nd-Fe-B is rough and has poor adhesion without ultrasonic agitation; however, the Ni–P alloy deposit on Nd-Fe-B with ultrasonic agitation has more compact and uniform microstructure, smoother morphology. At the same time, the adhesion and corrosion resistance are greatly enhanced.
